Joseph Price Named as New Assistant to .the President
■ ADMINISTRATION
by Carlos Estrada
QC News Editor
Professor of Religious Studies Joe Price
was promoted to Executive Assistant to the
President, and began his duties in his new
capacity on Saturday, Jan 1.
"I am pleased to welcome a long-time
Whittier College faculty member to the
president's office as my assistant," President Katherine Will stated in a memorandum sent to staff and administrators. "I am
delighted to welcome him as a colleague in
the president's office."
As Executive Assistant to Will, Price
will assist the president in the daily operations of the office and work with her on
special projects.
The position is one that already existed and was filled by several individuals
during President Jim Ash's term, most
recently Irene Freer. While Price will retain the old title, the duties of his office
have been changed considerably.
"The duties evolve but the primary responsibilities are to assist the president in
making the college successful," Price said.
"Each of the elements in this job has a
clearly defined mission: what is best for the
institution."
Freer will remain in the president's
office as Office Manager and Events Coordinator. Rachel Gonzalez, who also worked
in the Office of the President has taken
another open position in the Office of Advancement in conjunction with Price' s promotion.
"Her work here has been invaluable,"
Price said of Freer.
In addition to day-to-day troubleshooting, Price will focus his attention on improving communication among trustees and
between the trustees and other groups within the college community, specifically faculty.
He will also work with the president on
the Strategic Planning Initiative. This process is intended to address conceptual issues about the direction the College will
take in the future based on several key
issues.
The intent is to address concerns such
as retention in the context of more philosophical concerns such as the role of technology in education and in a liberal arts
education in particular.
"This job gives me a chance to look at
the whole picture instead of focusing on
whether one particular item is making any
impact," Price said.
Price has served in various administrative roles at the college and elsewhere
before being appointed to this position.
He served as Chair of Faculty and most
recently as assistant to the President of
Harvey Mudd College while he was an
American Council of Education (ACE)
Fellow during his sabbatical last year. He
also served Garrett House Faculty Master
for six years.
It "was his work at Harvey Mudd that
brought him to the attention of President
Will. While at Harvey Mudd, Price assisted their president with the day-to-day duties of that office while attending regional
and national seminars.
He also received the opportunity to
visit several colleges and observe how
their institutions function.
"Joe's experience as an ACE Fellow
makes him uniquely qualified to assist me
in the exercise of my presidential responsibilities," Will stated. "I feel that his
experience at the College and his understanding ofthe ethos ofthe institution will
Joseph Price.
make him a most valuable addition to the
staff."
Currently Price is carrying out his
duties while teaching the. January term religious studies class Sport, Play and Ritual.
